Working in photography, Dannielle Bowman’s photographs are multilayered, pushing a more nuanced understanding of American history and culture across various physical locations and time periods. Bowman’s photographs often consider the passage of time and memories of home—or, more specifically, the homes one creates along the way in search for better places to thrive. Working mostly in black and white, her images recall the events, objects, and sites that mold Black culture and history in order to explore themes of displacement, family, and home. Noting that she is interested in producing images that are considered “too Black”, the interplay between light and shadow, their formal properties, and metaphorical implications are also recurrent preoccupations across Bowman’s work.
